Forecasts

Mrs Geriatrix (1/5), White Pearl (14/1), Betula (14/1), Francine (14/1), Ivy League (14/1), My Lady Soul (25/1), Dolcezza (25/1), Callmewhenuneedme (28/1), Godspeed (33/1), Lady Fallon (40/1), Striking Angel (40/1), Leonessa (50/1), Dakota Cat (50/1)

MRS GERIATRIX is easily the best of these on form and is very much the one to beat. Ivy League is the most pragmatic second choice, while Dolcezza can fight it out for minor honours.
